A Recent Review of this tour

Dominik was one of the best city tour guides we have ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable, informative and personable.
He gave us a deep appreciation of Hurricane Katrina, its causes and impact. He also gave us an invaluable understanding of the geography, history and culture of New Orleans.
This is a MUST.Pierce Dunn
